Partially agree, but we were not talking about encouraging<br>
people to compile their own perl. For all other cases:<br>

Read the patient information leaflet and ask your doctor or pharmacist about risks and side effects. :-)<br>

I do think this should be made clear on the wiki article - ie, your vendors ability to support you *will* decrease - if you choose to re-compile.<br><font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote></div>Yes, but *your* ability to *help yourself* will increase:-D.<br>
People running CentOS and FC generally don't have expensive support contracts... So your objection on that isn't relevant (sorry:-)... For RH, the gut reaction should of course be to carp to support. But if you have the skill, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to replace your distribution perl... It's not like it's part of the OS proper;-). Yes, there will be tools that MIGHT malfunction, but then ... so it is with any update....:-)<br>
<br>BTW, just tested on a few versions of Mandriva (including 2008.1) and none are affected by this problem. Sometimes the kinship between Rh and Mdv isn't that close anymore:-).<br><br>Cheers<br>-- <br>-- Glenn<br>email: glenn < dot > steen < at > gmail < dot > com<br>
